The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office says a man was shot after an attempted robbery and there was an attempted carjacking within three hours.

The Sheriff’s Office says a man went outside his home on Apache Street in Slidell Sunday evening and was approached by two black men in masks, white T-shits and blue jeans.

One of the men in masks produced a handgun, pointed it at the victim and demanded his money, the Sheriff’s Office says.

When the victim told the man he did not have any money, the man who produced a handgun shot him, and both men in masks fled the scene, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Anyone with information on this alleged incident is asked to call Detective Walter Matthews at 985-729-7845.

About three hours later in what investigators believe was an unrelated incident, a man was nearly carjacked on the other side of the parish.

The Sheriff’s Office says a motorist stopped at a red light at the intersection of La. Hwy. 59 and Sharp Road when a black man approached the vehicle and pointed a handgun at him, demanding the victim give him his vehicle.

The suspect them fled on foot after being startled by an approaching vehicle, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
